Mocky: which i've never been
to, only watched on
tv

this is an important fucking point -- IF, and
that is a humongously immense IF, we do not actually burn everyone down,
that everyone gotta pay. and pay well.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes snapped a pic of a real lulzy one during his
trip here
BingoBoingo: Yumbo and Chinese sounding brands here usually are half or more less
than similar Honda/Yamaha models
mircea_popescu: the new world has some of
the shittiest, most overpriced vehicles in
the world. second only
to
their internet/comms.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-30 19:20 mircea_popescu:
the us is still very much a rural item, most dwellers
tend
to spread out roots like
that. consider ben_vulpes 's been working for MONTHS at disentangling a household
that includes no acres of 100 x 100 missile launch
tubes, no
train of slavegirls, nothing much more
than
the migration unit of great depression period.
mircea_popescu: Mocky i bet you better bike is
to be found cheaper 2nd hand
there
than in
the states.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 04:17 asciilifeform: my contention is
that linuses are red herring,
they are powerless
to prevent sane engineering when
the capable folx stand up.
mircea_popescu: course more practically, he's prolly selling rather
than shipping
the bike, and so...
BingoBoingo: Qatar is probably car friendlier
than Montevideo
Mocky: I saw
there's a harley store in Montevideo. one in Doha as well
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mocky AAA does
the US international driver certs, place
to find out
the rules is prolly going
to be motorcycle store
Mocky: well only one week on
turist visa, after
that need resident permit or something. i may not have
the full story
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I am
thinking even if I only part with a pair every couple months,
that would still be habitacion module power bill paid. Or if
they don't sell I'll still have my gringo eyes protected.
Mocky: apparently not on a
turist visa
Mocky: which
they are coming down of 105 degree summer
to 90's autumn, so pretty good
timing actually
BingoBoingo: I'm kinda curious how
the local bikes compare over
there.
Mocky: course I cant drive in qa, but looking forward
to a second summer
Mocky: speaking of
the sun, it's barely getting up
to 80 degrees here anymore making short sleeved motorcycle rides iffy. If only
there were some place warmer
to go
BingoBoingo: I am very
tempted
to price a fuckton of walmart/gas station spec sunglasses and bring
them in, sell for 1500 pesos each
to foreigners
BingoBoingo: The local options all have lenses
trivially
tinted and put a blue cast on everything.
BingoBoingo: I forgot
to bring
them when I left
the habitacion module on
the way
to
the feria. Didn't feel like
turning back
to retrieve
them. 9 km later nursing a sun induced headache.
Mocky: good idea with
the sunglasses btw
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Not sure, but
they alway required a license for OTA, usually enforced
through being a flock of NPC non-people like
the Uruguayos
Mocky: what, do
they have scrambled ota now?
mircea_popescu: most successful at making me drop shit
to see what
the fuck now.
BingoBoingo: Don't forget
the sack full of gossipd relays
Mocky: by
the
time i'm down
to nothing but a laptop, generator and waffle maker I'll rule
the world
Mocky: I guess I've recently gone
through a few years worth of life compaction events, more shaking loose each
time
mircea_popescu: the us is still very much a rural item, most dwellers
tend
to spread out roots like
that. consider ben_vulpes 's been working for MONTHS at disentangling a household
that includes no acres of 100 x 100 missile launch
tubes, no
train of slavegirls, nothing much more

mircea_popescu: kinda like duck will
take off at
the slightest provocation, but
the willow under which it
took off will not go anywhere even if buckshot.
mircea_popescu: Mocky he means
that he's
too loose and fat
to be able
to
take off for qatar on any budget he can conceive of.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ie, fisherman and fish both interact with
the fishing hook.
this happenstance dun make
the fisherman a fish -- he interacts with right end in right way.
mircea_popescu: it's a
tempting misread, of course, but
the fact
that i spend
the occasional hour interacting with my interfaces with random "social media" site dun do anything
to me. it certainly can't be said "oh, mp is on reddit ; robots count".

trinque: pulling bread from shitland, salary or not. so am I
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855888 << i
think
the important cut is salary-or-theft (ie, are you being raped or being
the rapist in
the relationship).
the mere act of graciously permitting
the pantsuited morons
to deposit
their ~worthless paper bits into your drawers is not in itself anything. children've been doing
this since
time immemorial, arts-and-crafts'd mom a card for her bday,
this doesn't make
the woman any mo
☝︎ BingoBoingo: Reading
the package it is Industria Argentina, which means it will be smaller and denser
than an alfajore Uruguayo
BingoBoingo: If we get a beedog here and further Republcian colonization of
the Orient(Latino Edition), people are going
to have
to eat.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> haha, start export bidniss!!1 << Not out of
the question
BingoBoingo: Mocky:
That reminds me, make sure
to pack a few sets of civilized sunglasses.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I plan
to photograph and review it on
the blog. I have a suspicion it is constructed in a way
that would make it far more popular in its homeland
than in
this frontier it has adapted
to.
BingoBoingo: In other updates I have acquired a copy of
the "Código de Comercio" printed in 2000 at
the feria. I also spotted an odd syncretic novelty: "Alfajor Oreo"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm sitting here ordering chickies
to love me. it's really fucking unfair.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> funny how nobody ever steals 'to live on for 50y' << Plenty probably intend
to by get hit with lottery winner problem
mircea_popescu: the will
to power is a quest
towards meaning, after all. fortune's supposed
to MEAN (ie, enact abstraction into carnation) something.
mircea_popescu: this is
that : ambitious moron with krysha forces open some community chest or other, discovers
that it wasn't after all mp's glasses
that did his reading for him by
themselves.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform swindled, failed
to mp with
the swindle.
mircea_popescu: there's bunches, but usually in "business", as
the us renders
the "oligarch" concept when it's domestic rather
than abroad.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-31 16:23 asciilifeform: (~= 'for erry smart-arse, a
threaded cock will be found' )
mircea_popescu: contemporary polite way of rendering
the concept of "lost", i assume.

trinque:
tru. but nobody's about
to become mircea_popescu off what's in
the
tbf piggy as we know it..

trinque: only
thing gonna free up l1 hands is wealthier l1
Mocky: anyway I decided
to skip
the hostel cuz 100% indian laborer gulag barracks, and went for air bnb room with door lock and kitchen/laundry access
☟︎ Mocky: I don't know, repellent has always been worse for me
than any insects. I guess you could call me an insect bite non-responder. Prolly wouldn't use even if I didn't have hard shell luggage
BingoBoingo: If you want
to do a half measure you can get
the shit labeled for use on pet bedding.
BingoBoingo: The idea is
that you luggage soaked in permethrins and other repellent insecticides sits in
the airplane or hostel and mad dogs any would be intruders.
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Really you are
trying
to avoid one particular pest.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> oh nm it is BingoBoingo's, from
the old days , nm <<
There's still a node running on .253 and .252
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 14:59 BingoBoingo: Mocky: How are you doing on soaking
the luggage in poisons?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-29 22:21 asciilifeform: prelude
to actually rebaking
the coad
that does
the address-collectin' (so
to prefer folx who actually supply blox,
to
the dead weight people )
diana_coman: anyways, I'll get around
to patch my node and see what
that gets
diana_coman: that is
the most useful yes; but also 1 block from 192.187.99.74
